Salicylamide C7H7NO2 CAS 65-45-2

Salicylamide Basic information

    Salicylamide is less acidic (pKa 8.2) than other salicylic acid derivatives.  Although poorly soluble in water, stable solutions can be formed at pH 9 through ionization of the phenolic group.  It is absorbed from the GI tract on oral administration and is rapidly metabolized to inactive metabolites by intestinal mucosa, but not by hydrolysis.  Activity appears to reside in the intact molecule.  Salicylamide is approximately 40 to 55% plasma protein bound, and it competes with other salicylates and acetaminophen for glucuronide conjugation, decreasing the extent of conjugation of these other drugs.
